18.01.2022 There are no right feelings - I want to help our youth to create a positive mindset and a greater level of happiness! Wow, what a year it's been so far! After a disastrous summer with bush fires affecting thousands of people closely followed by floods and now the Covid 19, we are all trying to cope in so many ways. I've found it hard to find the right words to convey what I've been feeling so I'm taking this opportunity to say a big, heartfelt hello and sending big hugs y...our way So how are your kids feeling? The Covid-19 is having a serious impact on so many people and children and families are feeling a mixed bag of emotions. Life and change has been rapid and difficult and the feelings of anxiety, overwhelm and anger has escalated for so many! We could never had anticipated something like this happening, especially to our children who are now challenged by remote learning and a loss of their social-emotional outlet. As you know, I am extremely passionate about emotional wellbeing, particularly children's mental health. I want to help our youth who are struggling big time at the moment, to create a positive mindset and a greater level of happiness. I also recognise that many of you need a hand and in light of this and everything that has been happening this year, the timing feels right to offer my program 'Finding Your Happy Emotional Awareness Program for Youth" to help them create their intentions, make positive changes goals and find confidence to live a life of purpose. I've teaming up with Wendy Hanlon from Stress Strainer to help you learn ways to create your own positive mindset and find a greater level of happiness. I am feeling generous and would like to offer my program for $45 if that's what you can afford. This includes the workbook and a complimentary 1:1 Skype or Zoom session to get you started. Please enquire about other offerings,or any online support. I want this to feel doable for everyone. Here's the link if you want more information: https://mailchi.mp/fa4c7277/youthemotionalawarenessprograms Let me help you and your children. Stay positive and calm through all this. Take care, Hugs Leisa xx

03.01.2022 Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time Over the past few weeks it’s been hard to write anything and be active on my page. I thought I’d just begin by sharing this amazing post (thanks Karyn Kingshott for sharing) We’ve all been affected by the fires raging in Australia in some way or another ... admittedly I have felt unpleasant feelings I haven’t felt for a while and have been quite unhappy watching the devastation unfold along with many others. I have st...ruggled to look for positives & happiness during that period. I quickly turned those feelings into love & gratitude when I saw others struggling. I still have so much in my life to be grateful for and compassion for those suffering.. it has helped a lot! So, I began volunteering with a local group WildWater Stations Shoalhaven helping feed our beautiful wildlife who have suffered in this catastrophe too .. the disaster became a means to gain awareness, compassion and connection with others which has been amazing!! All wanting to help and make a difference in some way. People standing together, caring and helping others. It has truly warmed my heart again and made me happy I’ll be back with some much needed changes to my page. I’ll be doing things a little differently this year and making content for everyone, to keep you smiling & happy Remember.... 1. Free your heart from hatred 2. Free your mind from worries 3. Live simply 4. Give more 5. Expect less 5. And enjoy every moment Happy 2020 & new decade everyone, Leisa

01.01.2022 A SILENT TRAGEDY There is a silent tragedy that is unfolding today in our homes, and concerns our most precious jewels: our children. Our children are in a deva...stating emotional state! In the last 15 years, researchers have given us increasingly alarming statistics on a sharp and steady increase in childhood mental illness that is now reaching epidemic proportions: Statistics do not lie: 1 in 5 children have mental health problems A 43% increase in ADHD has been noted A 37% increase in adolescent depression has been noted There has been a 200% increase in the suicide rate in children aged 10 to 14 What is happening and what are we doing wrong? Today's children are being over-stimulated and over-gifted with material objects, but they are deprived of the fundamentals of a healthy childhood, such as: Emotionally available parents Clearly defined limits Responsibilities Balanced nutrition and adequate sleep Movement in general but especially OUTDOORS Creative play, social interaction, unstructured game opportunities and boredom spaces Instead, in recent years, children have been filled with: Digitally distracted parents Indulgent and permissive parents who let children "rule the world" and whoever sets the rules A sense of right, of deserving everything without earning it or being responsible for obtaining it Inadequate sleep and unbalanced nutrition A sedentary lifestyle Endless stimulation, technological nannies, instant gratification and absence of boring moments What to do? If we want our children to be happy and healthy individuals, we have to wake up and get back to basics. It is still possible! Many families see immediate improvements after weeks of implementing the following recommendations: Set limits and remember that you are the captain of the ship. Your children will feel more confident knowing that you have control of the helm. Offer children a balanced lifestyle full of what children NEED, not just what they WANT. Don't be afraid to say "no" to your children if what they want is not what they need. Provide nutritious food and limit junk food. Spend at least one hour a day outdoors doing activities such as: cycling, walking, fishing, bird / insect watching Enjoy a daily family dinner without smartphones or distracting technology. Play board games as a family or if children are very small for board games, get carried away by their interests and allow them to rule in the game Involve your children in some homework or household chores according to their age (folding clothes, ordering toys, hanging clothes, unpacking food, setting the table, feeding the dog etc.) Implement a consistent sleep routine to ensure your child gets enough sleep. The schedules will be even more important for school-age children. Teach responsibility and independence. Do not overprotect them against all frustration or mistakes. Misunderstanding will help them build resilience and learn to overcome life's challenges, Do not carry your children's backpack, do not carry their backpacks, do not carry the homework they forgot, do not peel bananas or peel oranges if they can do it on their own (4-5 years). Instead of giving them the fish, teach them to fish. Teach them to wait and delay gratification. Provide opportunities for "boredom", since boredom is the moment when creativity awakens. Do not feel responsible for always keeping children entertained. Do not use technology as a cure for boredom, nor offer it at the first second of inactivity. Avoid using technology during meals, in cars, restaurants, shopping centers. Use these moments as opportunities to socialize by training the brains to know how to work when they are in mode: "boredom" Help them create a "bottle of boredom" with activity ideas for when they are bored. Be emotionally available to connect with children and teach them self-regulation and social skills: Turn off the phones at night when children have to go to bed to avoid digital distraction. Become a regulator or emotional trainer for your children. Teach them to recognize and manage their own frustrations and anger. Teach them to greet, to take turns, to share without running out of anything, to say thank you and please, to acknowledge the error and apologize (do not force them), be a model of all those values you instill. Connect emotionally - smile, hug, kiss, tickle, read, dance, jump, play or crawl with them. **** https://yourot.com//2017/5/24/what-are-we-doing-to-our-chi
